• Interested to see where this goes. Was looking at a Canyon for my partner (5ft 2", 55kg) but the 650b although logical for the frame size is putting me off because of the lack of wheel/tyre options

  • Yeah it's really frustrating how limited the choice is for small / female riders wanting smaller road wheels. The wheels that come with the Canyons look great and at least you can now get GP5000s in the 650b size. I hope more manufacturers start to bring out smaller road tyres.

  • Schwalbe Kojak tyres measure around 32mm. They sit around the regular Durano in speed and durability I think.

    A more plush 32mm 650b road tyre would be nice.

  • Add to that the fact you'll be paying full retail or more for not your favourite tyre in not your favourite size.

    She has 650c on her singlespeed and to go above 23c she's looking at £80+ for a pair of 28c Pasela's from Hartley's
